MS66 Red 1909-S VDB CentAn Issue With Enduring Popularity

1909-S VDB 1C MS66 Red PCGS. Lots of cachet and blatant eye
appeal are on display on this 1909-S VDB cent, certified MS66 Red
in a green-label PCGS holder. The premium eye appeal is as expected
for a Premium Gem, here boasting thorough mint luster on both sides
with surfaces that are appealing even without a loupe, and more so
with a loupe. The prevailing color is a medium sunset-orange,
mellowing ever so slightly in the obverse center to an almond
color. The strike is full on all peripheral details and the central
reverse, with minor weakness along Lincoln's beard line and coat
lapel. Only a single tiny dark fleck is noted near the obverse rim
below L(IBERTY), and a nick on the shoulder is noticeable but
minor. The enduring popularity of the Lincoln cent series should
ensure that the S VDB continues to perform well in any collector
grade. This piece is virtually the finest obtainable, as PCGS has
seen only nine submissions in MS67 Red (6/12).(Registry
